A new med-school grad is “marrying” her degree in an effort to get her family and friends as excited about her graduation and acceptance into her dream residency at Georgetown University as she is.

“I worried though that folks wouldn’t take my party seriously because it was ‘only’ a graduation,” bride- and doctor-to-be Angie Hamouie, 27, told The Post. “I thought, well folks go all out for their weddings. If I pretend to marry my diploma, maybe that would make it clear how much this moment means to me.”

But she’s really committed to the shtick — Hamouie’s “graduwedding” will include around 70 friends and family and will be just like a real wedding reception, except for the traditional inclusion of two humans.

“I have a friend who will make a small speech before I enter about what the ‘graduwedding’ is and why I chose to do it. Before I enter, instead of introducing me as “Mr. and Mrs.” he’ll say, “Welcoming for the first time, Dr. Angie Hamouie!” Then I’ll enter with my framed degree by my side,” she said.

Then the two will enjoy a first dance together, she will feed the diploma cake — one with figures of the bride and the prestigious piece of paper on top — and, naturally, she’ll toss her bouquet.

“The person who catches it won’t be next to get married — they’ll be next to graduate!” said Hamouie.

Instead of homewares for the couple’s new life together, she’s asking attendees to donate money to charity.

Hamouie’s friends have embraced the wacky wedding, although her parents took a little longer to come around, she said. Promising her mom that she does eventually intend to wed a real person one day helped.

But they eventually understood the point she’s trying to make: that we should lavish as much attention on new doctors as we do new brides.

“A graduwedding isn’t mutually exclusive from a wedding wedding,” Hamouie said. “I just think that women are quietly pressured to pick one or the other: marriage or a career. And when weddings are so extravagantly celebrated as compared to graduations, it sends a clear message on what we’re expected to prioritize. So the message I want to send with the graduwedding is that a degree is a huge accomplishment and that it should be celebrated as such.”

Hamouie will officially accept her diploma from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in June — she considers that part the “ceremony” — before beginning her happy ending in a residency program for obstetrics and gynecology at Georgetown.
